Actually, Ying Lili is very light in weight. After all, she is petite and not curvy in front, so hanging it on her body is just like ordinary weight training.
But the problem is, she only hung one side!
This resulted in Yushanheren being extremely unbalanced, with the left side being much heavier than the right side. Yushanheren even thought that it might be better if there was one more person hanging on the left and right.
Of course, this thought was fleeting. One was already troublesome enough, and another would be too much.
……
Because of Eriri, the distance that should have taken ten minutes took more than twenty minutes. By the time they arrived at Nishimiya Shoko's house, there was only a golden line left on the horizon.
Looking at the building of Nishimiya Glass's house, Eriri's expression was a little complicated.
Although Japanese architecture emphasizes simplicity and solidity, Nishimiya Glass's house seems a little too simple, even a little shabby, and is completely in the style of the 1960s and 1970s.
It was hard for Eriri to imagine that Nishimiya Shoko, who was always smiling and kind to others, would live in such a place. Nishimiya Shoko's manner and polite appearance always made Eriri think that she came from some scholarly family.
Yushan Heren nodded. Although he had been here several times, this was his first time here at dusk.
The dim sunlight shone on the house, dyeing it all a dark red. Under the dark red, there were some patterns, which were not carvings on the house, but some cracked and damaged areas.
I didn’t pay much attention to it when I came here normally, but under the setting sun, it is particularly eye-catching.
"But it seems like no one's home." Eriri said nervously.
The door was closed and there was no light in the room. Although it was not completely dark yet, generally speaking, the lights should be turned on at this time.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "Just knock on the door and you'll know."
The wooden door made a few dull "bang bang" sounds, and along with the sound, some wood chips fell down. Yushan Heren couldn't help but close his eyes.
There was no response from inside the house. Yushan Heren already had some guesses in his mind, but he still knocked on the door again.
The "dong dong" sound was a bit low, and seemed to be mixed with some "hissing" sounds of broken wood fibers. After knocking on the door back and forth several times, Yushan and Renren were sure that there was really no one in the room.
"No one here?" Ying Lili asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
"There seem to be very few people here." Ying Lili seemed to have thought of something bad and was a little nervous.
"There are indeed not many residents here." Yushanhe said.
There are not many houses built, and many of them are vacant. Yushan and his men have come here several times but have not seen many people.
In comparison, the small market not far away seems much more popular.
"Well, that Miss Matsuno, she wouldn't have lied to you, right?" Eriri blinked and looked around vigilantly.
"I'm not sure. I'll call and ask now." Yushan Heren took out his cell phone, with some displeasure in his eyes.
Matsuno Naku clearly said that if she came to Nishimiya Glass's house, she would know what happened, but the reality was that when she came to Nishimiya Glass's house, there was no one at home.
Did the Nishimiya family move?
Hayama Kazuto thinks this
This possibility is not very likely.
"Are you really here?"
The call was connected, and before Yushan Kazuto could say anything, Matsuno Naku spoke directly.
If Yushan and others didn't come here, they would definitely not call her again, so she said directly: "Wait for me for a while, I'll come over now."
After a few beeps, the phone was hung up. Yushan Heren frowned. He always felt that something big seemed to have happened.
Turning around, Ying Lili was standing on the steps at the door, looking around.
She found that although this place was a bit desolate, the scenery seemed quite good. In winter, such a pristine place was rare.
"Have you finished your phone call?"
Seeing Yushan Kazuto walking up to her side, Eriri couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
"What did that woman... Miss Matsuno say? Is she playing a trick on us?"
"She said she'd be right there, so we should wait a moment."
Ying Lili nodded and continued to observe. She felt that this place was very suitable for sketching. If she came here again next time, she might bring a drawing board.
Kazuto Yuyama looked in the direction of Naku Matsuno's house.
Although Matsuno Naku and Nishimiya Shoko are neighbors, they actually live quite far away from each other, about 300 meters apart in a straight line. It's just that there are not many people in this area, and within this few hundred meters, only these two households have people living there.
Thinking of the tone of the other party when he was talking to Matsuno Naku on the phone during the day, and considering the now empty Nishimiya family, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but become worried again.
"Ah!" A scream broke Yushan Kazuto's thoughts, and Eriri trembled all over and sat on the steps.
Chapter 456: Xigong Xi is ill
"What's wrong?" Yushan Kazuto squatted beside Eriri.
"You, look over there!"
In an open space not far away, an animal was lying in the shadow. The light was dim and it was unclear what it was. All that could be seen was its green eyes. Next to its ears, the "sizzling" sound of its claws scraping against the ground could be clearly heard.
It looks a bit like a stray cat, but as a cat owner, Yushan Heren can tell that it is definitely not a cat.
Just by looking at its size, you can tell that it is not a stray cat. Judging from the range of the shadow, it should be the size of an adult poodle, and seems to be even fatter.
But judging from its shape, it's probably not a dog.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yushan Heren said.
Eriri blinked, calmed down a little, and stood up: "What kind of animal is that?"
Yushan Heren was a little embarrassed. He was not a Pokémon master, so how could he know what the wild animals on the roadside were? It would be fine if he could see clearly, but in this dark environment, his eyes did not have night vision function.
The animal seemed to notice the gazes of Yushan Kazuto and Eriri, and it jumped a few times before disappearing into the shadows. Judging from its fleeing movements, its legs seemed to be very short, even shorter than a corgi, and its movements were not very flexible.
“That should be a
"
While Yushan Kazuto was still thinking, a voice came from behind him. Yushan Kazuto turned around and saw it was Matsuno Naku.
"There are quite a few wild raccoon dogs around here, and they're not too afraid of people."
Yushan Kazuto nodded. If it was a raccoon dog, then all the characteristics would match.
"Are you that? Miss Matsuno?" Eriri looked at Matsuno Naku and felt that he looked familiar.
However, it was not clear in the dim light, and Eriri's eyesight was not very good. She stared at the other person, but could not remember when they had met before.
"I remember you, Sawamura-san." said Matsuno Naku.
The two had met at the Adachi Fireworks Festival, but they had never talked, just glanced at each other.
Eriri blinked, but still couldn't remember where she had seen Matsuno Naku before, so she could only say, "Long time no see, Ms. Matsuno."
"Well, long time no see." Matsuno Naku nodded. The fireworks festival had indeed been over for a long time.
"Ms. Matsuno, can you tell me now what happened to Glass?"
Ignoring the two people's politeness, Yushan Kazuto asked directly.
Matsuno Naku looked at Yushan Kazuto, then at Eriri: "Can you tell her?"
"Eri is Nozomi's desk mate and also her good friend. It's okay to tell her," said Yushan Kazuto.
Matsuno Naku was a little surprised that Nishimiya Glass actually made friends at school! And she had never told him that she was in the same class as Eriri.
Looking at Eriri again, Matsuno Naku shook his head, clearing away those useless thoughts in his mind, and said, "Actually, according to Aunts Naoko and Yaeko, they don't want to tell you. After all, it's their family matter."
"But now that you're all here, it doesn't seem right not to tell you. Come with me."
……
Matsuno Naku walked in front, with Hayama Kazuto and Eriri following behind her.
"Ms. Matsuno, what exactly happened? Was there any conflict between Nozomi and her mother?" asked Eriri.
"Why do you think like this? Aunt Yaeko is a little strict, but she is actually a very good person. No, why do you say again?" Matsuno Naku asked back.
"That's a long story, so, Naoko's absence from class today has nothing to do with her mother, right?" Yushan Kazuto said.
"It has nothing to do with Aunt Yaeko." Matsuno Naku shook his head.
A cold wind blew past, and Ying Lili couldn't help but shiver. Her nose felt a little itchy from the cold wind.
"Ah!"
A sneeze came out.
"The weather is cold." Matsuno Naku said suddenly, his voice a little low.
"Hmm?" Yushan Kazuto blinked, feeling that there was something else behind Matsuno Naku's words.
"We young people may get sick in the face of this sudden cold wave." He stopped speaking suddenly.
Yushan Kazuto thought of Doma Mai who had a fever that night and nodded.
"You mean, Nozomi caught a cold and fell ill?" asked Eriri.
Naku Matsuno shook his head without explaining.
"Is Grandma Nishimiya sick?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Yeah." Matsuno Naku nodded.
The field suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Kazuto Hayama knows Nishimiya Kei, a very kind old man. Although Eriri doesn't know him, she can tell from the name that Nishimiya Kei should have a very close relationship with Nishimiya Glass.
"Nishimiya-kei grandma, is she Nozomi's grandma?" Eriri asked.
"No, it's Nozomi's grandmother." Yushan Kazuto said.
Eriri lowered her head. She felt that she cared too little about Nishimiya Shoko. Although they were deskmates and good friends, she still knew too little about Nishimiya Shoko.
"Is the condition serious?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"I don't know. Neither Nozomi, Yuzuru, nor Aunt Yaeko told me in detail," said Nahisa Matsuno.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, with a hint of worry on his face.
"
But my grandmother is already over 70 years old, so even if it is just a minor illness like catching a cold, we should treat it with caution."
……
The hospital was not far away, about seven or eight hundred meters away. Ten minutes later, they finally reached the downstairs of the hospital.
"Flu is prone to break out in winter, so you should wear masks first." Naku Matsuno stopped at the door and took out a few masks.
"Thank you." Yushan Kazuto took the mask and put it on.
Ying Lili didn't say anything, but took the mask.
"Which ward is Grandma Nishimiya in?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Come with me."
……
The hospital is not big, it cannot be compared with those large hospitals, and it is even smaller than Ye Mi's private hospital. However, there are quite a lot of patients inside. It can be seen that most of them have caught a cold. It seems that the winter flu has indeed broken out.
When they arrived at the inpatient area, Kazuto Yuyama saw Yaeko Nishimiya making a phone call from afar. Eriri wanted to walk over but was stopped by Kazuto Yuyama.
"Wait a minute, let's wait until she finishes her call before going over."
Although she didn't understand Yushan Kazuto's intention, Eriri still stopped and Matsuno Naku nodded.
The distance was not very far and Yaeko Nishimiya's voice was loud, so Kazuto Yuyama could roughly hear what she said on the phone.
[Want to borrow money for surgery? It seems that Nishimiya's grandmother's illness is more serious this time. ]
[Ms. Matsuno said that Nishimiya is already over 70 years old, and it would be very risky to have surgery.]
With a "pop" sound, several boxes of bento fell to the ground. Yushan Kazuto turned his head and looked at the equally shocked girl in front of him with some surprise.
"Nitro, Nitro?"
